But for him to turn up at 5am with an entourage? That's creepy.
She had been working that evening so perhaps she wasn't even fully conscious by 5am? If you want consent the girl has to be awake as a rule.

Yes, I hear what you are saying and I agree the circumstances surrounding this do look suspicious but she could have given consent and forgotten plus both footballers testified that she did give consent plus the guys at the windows heard all the normal sounds of lovemaking including her requesting oral sex from one of the footballers, so let's not think she was unconscious and had no part to play.
Again I come back to the question of was a rape committed and how a jury could say beyond a reasonable doubt that ONE of them committed rape the other didn't ??
This is disturbing and should be investigated as one cannot see any circumstances where one is innocent but the other guilty.
This conviction is unsafe and a retrial should be ordered at the very least.
